She was hoping I couldn't tell her no but something deep down inside me couldn't push away the ghost
Pertaining to estranged to her lovers taste
She couldn't explain the pain it gave her just to say my name
So I chosen the moment to just let it go
If I overestimated my heart would it be prudent to suppose
Conclusions are drawn up on the words that I spoke
Storm storm stormi be stormenal
Storm storm stormi be stormenal

To debate
To rebel
The antonyms monopolize
To express
To support
The synonyms monopolize
And now the child memories both
And never distinguishes between them
The positives from the negatives
The moral from the immoral
The saints from the devils
As they are forever morally Overestimated by the grown-ups
Until they are vandalism-prone Underestimated
With a future collapse of morality
In this fabulous and glamorous world
Full of both antonyms and synonyms

I wanted to listen
The poem of me
I made myself
Mine to be.
How mediocre
Then I felt for me
To make the poem
I felt being lazy.
This is my world
Of nothing to say
The poem regretted
For me to portray.
As if overestimated
Was my love for me
Thanks to the poem
It showed my poverty.
Then some day
If I do something
May be poem
Will become happy.
Till that time
I beg you my poem
Please do something
So I can make my poetry.

The power of words can never be overestimated.
They bring us up, pull us down, embrace us, hurt us, cause us to instantly laugh or cry.
Wars have been fought over them, families have been destroyed by words.
Lovers have separated, never to be reunited after the wrong ones were used in anger or haste.
Words have caused heart ache, misunderstandings, and lifelong feuds.
They have more power in the mouths of parents than any other weapon in their arsenal.
Words are often relived and re-felt over and over for a person’s entire lifetime.
People need to stop and think at least a second or two before using them, and certainly
Look them over several times, before they publish them.
Words can uplift people, make them feel glad they know you, but they
Can also devastate and destroy a person, making them feel sad, put down.
Like bullets, words can never be fully taken back, never totally forgotten or forgiven.
Once they are out there, whether in a sound wave, or on paper, they represent you.
Be careful, my friends. A reputation is with you for a long time,
and some people are not good at giving second chances.
Words, the most powerful of arsenals.

Here lies T. R. Castor
She bought food for a meeting,
Overestimated how many were eating
The credit card, our boss had passed her
Now she's buried in this pasture

A god's dream is existence
In the hearts of these amnesic men
Most are insomniacs.
Lackadaisical,
whose survival
would always be undermined.
Then we colonize
Make them walk on their feet.
Blinded by their ego,
we neo-colonize
And I think, they still need to be recolonized
Gust of wind in them when luxury comes
Like an electrical surge,
they bring looted fortunes to us
Oh, a sudden rush
All, all, all of it
What surfeit! Clouded race
If you are white ,
you must be a supreme being
I am white
" formalised
" civilised
" plagiarized
" pride
" overestimated
" ..proud
What has Elysium got?
Good tidings?
Air food ?
Free jets ?
Sky cars?
Invisible structures?
We are making them
Trust me
We are making them !
Just as we made a car / a fish
Just as we made networking /a storm
Just as we made power / heat
Just as we made robots / men

“Some cause happiness wherever they go
Others whenever they go”
One of Oscar Wilde's famous quotes
Would have been a great man to know
“Always forgive your enemies
Nothing annoys them so much”
Another gem from this famous fellow
As a humorist he sure had the touch
“America was discovered before Columbus
But it had always been hushed up”
Yet another gem from this fertile mind
Don't think that's coffee in his cup
“I think God in creating Man
Somewhat overestimated his ability”
This one totally cracks me up
His mind worked with ease and agility
“A little sincerity is a dangerous thing
And a great deal of it is absolutely fatal”
It's something I learned a long time ago
In fact, I think I learned it prenatal
“Anyone who lives within their means
Suffers from a lack of imagination”
You should throw all caution to the wind
And give in to those naughty temptations
“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable
That we have to alter it every six months”
Oscar is one of my favourite humorists
His mind was definitely out to lunch!
